You're alone more than you think.
- Touring a vacant unit with someone you just met.
- Walking the grounds after dark.
- Knocking on a hotel room door.
- Closing up the store alone.
In those moments, help is whatever you can reach in the few seconds you have.
1 in 3 properties had a staff safety incident in the past year — closer to 1 in 2 in affordable housing.*
Over half of female leasing agents feel vulnerable walking the property alone.*

"Can't I just use my phone?"
-
A phone is slow
It has to be found, unlocked, opened and dialed — and it's the first thing an attacker reaches for. By the FCC's count, roughly one in three robberies involves the theft of a phone.
-
PanicTap is one press
No screen, no app, no number to dial. It's on your keychain, already in hand — and it looks like a key fob, so reaching for it never escalates the moment.
-
The data agrees
Staff issued a company phone were no more confident working alone. Staff given a panic button: +16 points in confidence.
How it works
-
1. Hold
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
-
2. 911 is called
Over its own 4G connection. Responders can hear anything within 10 feet.
-
3. Help knows where to go
Every alert carries the device's live location, and your on-site team is texted at the same moment.
What happens when you press
-
911 is dispatched to you
One press connects you straight to local 911. Your alert carries the device's live location, and responders can hear anything within 10 feet.

Bob Kohlman, VP, BRG Apartments
"You hope no one ever has to use the device, but we had an instance where it was utilized — it worked as designed and local emergency personnel responded."
-
Lorena G.
"It's so small and practical to carry during a tour and looks like a vehicle key. Simple to understand, lightweight, easy to clip — and it gives our staff real protection."
